It Has Very Appreoiabie Eject on
the Stock Markpt.


New York, Aug. 10.--The stock marke,
during most Of the day was even duller to-
day than yesterday, though comparative
activity at the end OF the day ran the days
total up beyond that Of yesterday. All
eyes were turned TO Washington to see the
outcome Of the bond offerings, and most
Of the operators on the street were I'M
pressed with the idea that the offerings
would be quite liberal. A moderate buying
movement marked the forenoon'B trading,
When 1t became evident that the amounts
offered were not up to expectation a reac-
tlon OF small dimensions followed. Pur-
chases by London aided the early advance,
but the reports of damage to the corn crop
had depressing effect Much less atten-
tion was given to the telegraph and Ives
matters, though IN regard to the former
many stories were aloat. One hundred
shares OF Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
were sold at 80 to-day against 100 yesterday.
The opening was decidedly strong with
most stocks from to ( per cent. higher
than on yesterday, evening, while Canada
Southern was up per cent. The trading
was quiet and soon became very dull, ex-
cept for New England, Reading, and st.
Paul. Fluctuations were confined within a
very narrow range, and the trading, beyond
| a squirt In New England, entirely devoid OF
Interest. Prices sagged and recovered ultl-
mately during the greater part OF the day,
portance, though generally confined to
| fractions. There was partial reaction In
| the last hour, and the close was duh but
| steady to firm clese to opening figures.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
| from to :, last loan at Q, and closing
| offered at 2. Sterling exchange ia steady
| and dull. Actual business at Ash to 4Si!
